Why are you linking to an article in New York magazine to answer this question? Could that be more bleedingly obvious? I guess researching is hard.

I always thought it was interesting, but I think the random color changes are a bit annoying. Not saying it should be rigid and never change, but I think one of the best things in NYC is looking up at something like the Empire State Building and seeing colors based on events or history. It connects you to the light. And you can either enjoy the colors or enjoy the symbolism or both. Having the colors change randomly seems cloying and self-indulgent.

Hey, thanks for answering my question! I love that there's not any rhyme or reason to the color changes.

how interesting. apparently they designed the quasi-lofts on s 4th st where i live. one elevator for 70+ units - great job, guys. well, i suppose that could be the cheap-ass landlord's fault.

Thank you Ask Gothamist for making me a safer driver! Now everytime I pass this building on the BQE I won't feel compelled to stare at it looking for clues as to its nature.
